checkboxes in mailform
Ok, so I got the textfileds working on my mailform just fine, but I can´t find any info on checkboxes.

Lets say I want a checkbox named toiletpaper (best I could think of at the moment) in my mailform... How would the php code look like?

...So when I get the mail sent to me, it would say: toiletpaper: yes

RE: checkboxes in mailform
Checkboxes only take values if they are checked, so you have to do things a little different than textfields. Here's how I would do it:

In your HTML form:
Code:
<input type="checkbox" value="Y" id="toiletpaper"> Toilet paper?


In your PHP code (assuming you are using POST in your form):
php Code:
Original - php Code 
  1.  
  2. if(isset($_POST['toiletpaper']) AND $_POST['toiletpaper'] == 'Y')
  3. {
  4.     $email_body .= "toiletpaper: yesn";
  5. } else {
  6.     $email_body .= "toiletpaper: non";
  7. }

RE: checkboxes in mailform
Better read this FAQ
http://codewalkers.com/faq/2/29.html

Thats how I would do it..
In HTML page name it in this fashion

<input type="checkbox" name="mycheck[toiletpaper]" value="Y">
<input type="checkbox" name="mycheck[oilpaper]" value="Y">
<input type="checkbox" name="mycheck[somepaper]" value="Y">

In PHP

php Code:
Original - php Code 
  1.  
  2. $myCheck=$_POST["mycheck"];
  3. foreach($hobby as $key=>$value){
  4.  if($value=="Y")echo $key." : yes<br>";
  5. }


I hope it makes sense..
